Lots and lots of fibre! Weetabix has been my best friend the past few weeks and last week I managed to use the bathroom every single day which has never happened before!

Prunes!!!! Also buy an at home enema from Amazon - absolute game changer! Use it with warm water to break up the poop! Xxx

If you’re in serious pain you should contact your GP for an emergency appointment. Laxido and fybogel are over the counter laxatives which are both pregnancy safe -
You can chat to your pharmacist about them if you want more info but they’re pretty gentle…but at the stage you’re at you might need something more than just eating certain foods

Lots of water, and I take pregnancy probiotics which have really helped me! Xx
